"Of course the people don't want war. But after all, it's the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it's always a simple matter to drag the people along whether it's a democracy, a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism, and exposing the country to greater danger."

"Favorite" is a such fluid, slippery thing. Nevertheless, here are screengrabs from my mind tonight. Oh, and here the term "art" refers to soundless, static things -- the usual wordless, visual sh*t. Not that it need to. Anyway:

 

Painting: El Tres de Mayo (Goya)

 

Sculpture: unfinished bound slave (Michelangelo)

 

Photography: this, maybe this, and definitely this

Oh, and everyone should make a trip to the Louvre once in their life. At least once.

 

I don't even care that much about art, but good God, you can feel the history out of that place. It's really an experience.

Ansel Adams, of course.

Other styles of photography I really like are textures:

Still gaming with my 9900k/2080ti/32 ram. One day I suppose a game may inspire me to finally upgrade. Maybe.

Love the art you posted Pidesco. the lady holding the animal (dog?) was beautiful, and you can't go wrong with a Rembrandt :)

 

And the spider was cute LadyCrimson :lol:

 

Here are some more (Edward Munch). I have a reproduction of the first one (Vampire) on my wall :

It's an ermine (a kind of weasel). It's by Leonardo, by the way.

this is a link to several galleries of art made by Clive Barker (who made hellraiser)

Many are not safe for work, and others are just disgusting. But I like some of his paintings, so maybe I'm sick :ph34r:

 

Anyone else who likes them?

Maybe I should add that I don't like the ones filled with male "bodyparts" but many other paintings and drawings are rather good.

An example, "the arsonist" :

Now, I sit here and wonder which of you awful degenerates'll be the first to post The Dream of the Fisherman's Wife. Which reminds me, there was this wave by Hokusai I really liked, not the famous one, uh, guess I'll sleep on it. One of his pupils painted the (sorta) famous Family Values, right?

 

I'll try getting a few Nykvist screen captures tomorrow in honour of the great master. Until then, here's two from Robert Bresson's Le Proces De Jeanne D'arc (shot by L
